“We develop RVs in a wide range of styles that allow people to enjoy their favorite pastimes in comfort.”

BUILDING PEOPLE'S ENJOYMENT
     Recreational vehicles are built for fun and convenience from the inside out.
     Fleetwood produces some of the best-selling RVs in North America. Much of this popularity is due to the value we bring to our customers, no matter which of our many products they choose. And, with our wide range of styles, sizes, and prices, there is a Fleetwood RV that will accommodate each customer's lifestyle.
     The major RV categories are motor homes, travel trailers, and folding trailers. We design and manufacture the driving compartment and the living area in Class A motor homes, which are built on medium-duty truck chassis with either gas or diesel engines. The generally smaller Class C motor homes start with a cut-away van-type chassis, on which we build a living area with access to the existing driver's compartment.




     Travel trailers are designed to be towed by pickup trucks, vans, or other tow vehicles. We build both conventional styles and fifth-wheel units.
     A separate category of towable RV is the smaller folding trailer, where we dominate the industry.
     RVs allow people to enjoy their favorite pastimes— which might include traveling, fishing, attending sporting events, bird-watching, or camping—in comfort. Americans continue to discover the freedom of using an RV and the special family times that naturally come along for the ride.
